Quality and Diversity of Sources
Information does not become intelligence until it has context. Sourcing our findings adds context while also providing an avenue for further validation/verification.
- Hunchly (hunch.ly)
Is one of the only paid OSINT tools I use daily. If you are a Hunchly user, the report builder can be used to create your appendix even if you are not planning to use Hunchly to prepare the entire report. The first step is to set aside the evidentiaty copy of your recovered data. This is accomplished by clicking on "Export" and then "Export Case. This will organize the raw data into an archive which can then be transferred to optical or other storage media.
A visual representation of this. data included in the appendix of our report, can be accomplished with the following steps:
On the main toolbar, choose "Export" and then "Open Report Builder".
Title the report to match your case, such as the target name followed by the case number and add your agency logo if you choose.
Selecting "Add Section" will open a new window which will allow you to select specific Hunchly capture data to add to your report, such as notes, screenshots, saved images, and results from any keyword queries.
If you wish to add a list of all captured pages, select "Add capture history" on the top right of the Hunchly application window.
On the top right, if you select "Export report, a pop-up will allow you to export a PDF or Word document. Toggle on the optional table of contents if you wish, select the document type, and then click on "Export". This will open a "save as" window and allow you to browse to your case directory where you can rename it "Photo Evidence" and click save.
The primary advantage of using Hunchly to generate your appendix is that it will add the capture date, hash, and URLs to each preserved page and image.
